Oriens-The Birth Story Of Oriens


Hummmm……….There is a fashion news !Readers once you get used to this Oriens then you don’t look for any other perfume! The classy the aromatic and above all very feminine! It speaks the language of sensitivity. Oriens is considered as an ethnographic objects as it a blend of opulence and lightness as it belongs to the latest trends.Oriens offers fruity and floral blend, it is hard to miss. The perfume is highly elegant and meant for the class.Oriens feels surprisingly pleasant to wear. The perfume manages to create a mantle of security and semi-warmth cut through by a cool green anisic nuance running in the dark velvet material of the perfume which smells more and more of Hades-dark pomegranate with time. It is well known in fashion industry.
. The name Oriens makes sense also in this context as Venice was such a meeting point of cultures between Europe and the Orient.

Oriens smells to my nose like a black diamond more than a watermelon tourmaline. It is abstractly rendered as an oriental-chypre, a hybrid yet classic genre in perfumery which attempts to combine both the warmth and depth of the satisfying and a bit fleeting in the end. It succeeds well at hinting at and even making you live oriental opulence and the dark-lit charm of a chypre scent burning softly in a byzantine church like a lamp oil casting shadows on the wall. It is secretly comforting without being too obvious a gourmand or regressive fragrance. Bernard Ellena seems to excell at indirect, oblique perfumery references that are hard to place. But I also have to accept the fact that Oriens is not meant to be with me for the days ahead.Oriens starts like a classic perfume with a will to live and then vaporizes like it knows in its bones it can only pretend to be a fad and does not want to outstay its welcome.Oriens in this regard is an interesting social object or perhaps better said - ethnographic object - as it brings out the existence of contradictions instead of squashing them into a non-perfume, playing with opposite ideals - opulence and lightness - and resolving them in the end as a perfume of its time.
